Navarro weighed in first, saying, “I believe everyone should do what is right for them. I believe you can see yourself and if you go to a family meeting or with friends in that place, you will be stressed, so don’t go.
She then famously said that her husband Al’s children voted for Trump and that she has 13 grandchildren who “refuse to see” and could see him “come to hell or high water.”
“He advised me, ‘I can’t let politics destroy our household,'” she added.
Farah Griffin said, saying she’s “all for a healthy margin,” but believes “mashed potatoes are a great equalizer.”
“You don’t need to spend Thanksgiving by yourself as a result of you won’t be able to put politics apart,” he defined. “I find every day and every project that I do and in the social environment that I do, I have become a different individual politically than I am and there is no way to be friends with them.”

“I wouldn’t have a partner,” he added jokingly, and Haines said, “I wouldn’t have a vacation if I had to decide where everyone agreed.”
Haines added that he “tests” with himself for his personal psychological health and “step(s) away” if necessary. “But of course it won’t be at a certain level because a toxic personality has no political affiliation, it’s a persona that sucks, and we all relate to individuals like that. So whatever your motives are, I’m not going to let my politics be an explanation that I don’t say like seeing my household because he will not be there.
Hostin then shared his ideas, saying that he disagreed because he believed that this was not a political issue, but a moral one.
“I really feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump is just a very different candidate – from the issues that he’s talking about and the issues that he’s doing and the issues that he’s going to address – it’s a more ethical concern for me, and I believe it’s a concern ethics for many people,” he explained.
Hostin stated that it would be a “totally different” time if we had a Republican president like President George W. Bush.

“Maybe you don’t agree with the insurance policy, but you don’t feel that he is a very flawed person, very flawed of character, flawed of morality,” Farah Griffin said. Democrats at the time portrayed Bush that way.
“But you have to admit, he’s very different,” Hostin said, noting how individuals like Griffin “remind us” of Trump’s “deep flaws.” “So, I believe that individuals really feel that someone is choosing not only against their family, but against them those people and people you like. I believe it is okay to beat.
Griffin insisted that “you don’t have to love him to respect the voters,” which Goldberg called and shared his ideas, saying, “I respect the voters, but I will say to anyone who tells me that my teenager is wrong because of how he or he I feel that they told me that they should not be allowed to be with you me permission, I have a question.”
“I didn’t need to put my son in that place,” she continued. “I don’t need to put my homosexual child in a place where he has to sit with people who don’t know him, and feel like it’s okay. That’s just me.”
Goldberg added that he feels “the same way” about blended households. “There is a special problem that you should not put your loved ones during that time. You will be able to have dinner at another level, but it will not be the time to collect because you know that there will be stress.
